Prayer, day 2951

God of Abundant Grace,

we worship You and give you thanks,
seeking to live an ethic of generosity
as our work in partnership with You.

Teach us to never return evil for evil, O God,
but respond to hatred
with the power of loving resistance,
practicing forgiveness with courage.
Shape our lives by your mercy, O Holy One,
and follow in our Savior's footsteps,
let us Love.
Do good.
Bless.
Give.
Lend.
And Forgive.

Spread the awning of your grace above us,
and the path of your peace before us
that we may be a blessing in the world
in your Name, as we pray.

Amen.
